Definitions

• the present invention relates to a steel for manufacturing a bearing component for use in a car, various industrial machines, or the like. More particularly, it relates to a bearing steel exhibiting favorable cold workability in manufacturing a bearing component by cold working, and a manufacturing method thereof.
• Patent Literature 1 in order to make favorable the polishability in working into a product shape, and to obtain a favorable rolling contact fatigue life with stability, particularly, the size and the density of Al type nitrogen compounds dispersed in steel, and the size and the area ratio of cementite are defined.
• Patent Literature 2 in order to further improve the rolling contact fatigue life, the ratio of carbide area ratios respectively observed in the Cr concentrated part due to stripe segregation and the Cr non-segregated part is defined.
• Patent Literature 3 submits the following proposal: in order to obtain a bearing steel wire rod suitable for deep wire drawing, which is not broken even when subjected to deep wire drawing so that the wire drawing reduction ratio exceeds about 50% (further, 70%), the manufacturing conditions are controlled, thereby to set the mean circle equivalent diameter and the standard deviation of cementite after spheroidizing annealing equal to or smaller than given values for suppressing variations.
• a bearing component can be obtained in the following manner: a bearing steel in a shape of wire rod, steel rod, or the like is subjected to cold working such as cutting, forging, or machining, thereby to be worked into a final shape.
• cold working such as cutting, forging, or machining
• the wire rod or rod material as-hot rolled is too hard, and hence the cold working is difficult to perform.
• spheroidizing annealing is carried out before cold working.
• Patent Literature 4 submits the following proposal: by controlling the hot rolling temperature and the cooling rate in the manufacturing steps, pro-eutectoid network cementite is reduced, and the pearlite lamellar spacing is coarsened.
• pro-eutectoid network cementite is reduced, and the pearlite lamellar spacing is coarsened.
• spheroidal cementite is dispersed uniformly and finely. For this reason, it is considered difficult to say that the hardness is sufficiently reduced.
• Patent Literature 5 discloses a patent in which, after a spheroidizing annealing treatment, the ferrite mean particle size and the cementite mean particle size after cold wire drawing are defined, thereby to improve the cold workability.
• the C and Cr contents may be high, resulting in the formation of eutectic carbide. For this reason, diffusion annealing becomes essential.
• cold wire drawing is carried out at 20 to 40%, resulting in the degradation of yield of the steel. This conceivably results in a higher manufacturing cost.
• the present invention was completed in view of the foregoing circumstances. It is an object thereof to implement a bearing steel exhibiting more excellent cold workability than in the related art, and a manufacturing method thereof.
• Si boundary Si
• Ni boundary Ni
• Cu boundary Cu
• Mo boundary Mo
• Mn boundary Mn
• Cr boundary Cr
• the present invention also includes a method for manufacturing the bearing steel.
• the method is a method for manufacturing a bearing steel excellent in cold workability.
• the method includes: using a steel having the composition, performing spheroidizing annealing after hot rolling,
• a bearing steel exhibiting more excellent cold workability than in the related art.
• Use of the bearing steel allows cold working such as cutting, forging, or machining to be performed favorably. Accordingly, when a bearing component such as a ball, a roller, a needle, or a race is manufactured, the life of the die to be used can be lengthened. Further, a race or the like subjected to hot working can be manufactured by cold working. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the CO 2 emission amount in a component manufacturing step. Further, it is possible to reduce the spheroidizing time, and it is also possible to reduce the cost.
• the present inventors aimed to further improve the cold workability of a bearing steel.
• the present inventors focused on the boundary, which is the weakest part, between the spheroidal cementite and the matrix phase in the microstructure of the spheroidizing annealed material, particularly, the microstructure (ferrite microstructure) of the boundary region of the matrix phase with the spheroidal cementite.
• the element densities in the boundary region were subjected to line analysis by EDX of FE-TEM. This indicates as follows: in the boundary region, Si, Cu, Ni, and Mo are concentrated to higher densities than respective element densities in the steel matrix phase, and Cr and Mn are depleted to lower densities than respective element densities in the steel matrix phase.
• both of Mn and Cr are elements high in equilibrium partitioning ratio, and tend to be dissolved in cementite in spheroidizing annealing. For this reason, it can be considered that the Mn- and Cr-depleted regions are formed at the boundary between cementite and the matrix phase. When Mn or Cr is depleted, the strength of the ferrite microstructure is reduced. For this reason, it can be considered that the deformation resistance can be reduced.
• Si, Ni, Cu, and Mo are required to be set in amounts equal to or smaller than respective prescribed upper limit values, respectively.
• Mn and Cr are required to be set in amounts equal to or smaller than respective prescribed upper limit values, respectively.
• the conditions for spheroidizing annealing are required to be controlled as described later.
• the components other than the Si, Ni, Cu, Mo, Cr, and Mn are iron and inevitable impurities.
• the composition is required to be set within the following range.
• C is an essential element for increasing the quenching hardness, dispersing proper cementite, maintaining the component strength at room temperature and high temperatures, and imparting the wear resistance. Therefore, C is required to be included in an amount of 0.95% or more, preferably 0.98% or more, and more preferably 1.00% or more. However, a too high C content results in strengthening of ferrite. Accordingly, the deformation resistance becomes more likely to increase. For this reason, the C content is set at 1.10% or less. The C content is preferably 1.05% or less.
• the Si is a necessary element for improving the temper softening resistance, and ensuring the rolling contact fatigue property of the component.
• the Si content is set at 0.30% or less.
• the Si content is preferably 0.25% or less, and more preferably 0.20% or less.
• the Si content is set at 0.10% or more.
• the Si content is preferably 0.13% or more, and more preferably 0.15% or more.
• Mn is a necessary element for improving the quenching property of the base material, and ensuring the rolling contact fatigue property.
• the Mn content is required to be set at 0.40% or less.
• the Mn content is preferably 0.35% or less, and more preferably 0.30% or less.
• the Mn content is set at 0.10% or more.
• the Mn content is preferably 0.15% or more, and more preferably 0.20% or more.
• the Cr content is required to be set at 1.00% or more.
• the Cr content is preferably 1.10% or more, and more preferably 1.15% or more.
• the boundary Cr content also becomes excessive.
• solid solution strengthening of the matrix increases the deformation resistance during cold working. For this reason, the Cr content is set at 1.50% or less.
• the Cr content is preferably 1.45% or less, and more preferably 1.40% or less.
• Ni 0.05% or less (excluding 0%)
• Ni is an element which is, as described above, low in equilibrium partitioning ratio, and is concentrated at the boundary between spheroidal cementite and the matrix phase, and increases the boundary Ni content, thereby to increase the deformation resistance. For this reason, the Ni content is desirably minimized.
• the Ni content is set at 0.05% or less.
• the Ni content is preferably 0.04% or less, and more preferably 0.03% or less. Incidentally, extreme reduction incurs an increase in steel manufacturing cost. For this reason, the lower limit of the Ni content is about 0.01%.
• the Cu is also an element which is, as described above, low in equilibrium partitioning ratio, and is concentrated at the boundary between spheroidal cementite and the matrix phase, and increases the boundary Cu content, thereby to increase the deformation resistance. For this reason, the Cu content is desirably minimized.
• the Cu content is set at 0.05% or less.
• the Cu content is preferably 0.04% or less, and more preferably 0.03% or less. Incidentally, extreme reduction incurs an increase in steel manufacturing cost. For this reason, the lower limit of the Cu content is about 0.01%.
• Mo is also an element which is, as described above, low in equilibrium partitioning ratio, and is concentrated at the boundary between spheroidal cementite and the matrix phase, and increases the boundary Mo content, thereby to increase the deformation resistance. For this reason, the Mo content is desirably minimized.
• the Mo content is set at 0.03% or less.
• the Mo content is preferably 0.02% or less, and more preferably 0.01% or less.
• the lower limit of the Mo content is not particularly set, and the case of 0% is also included.
• the components of the present invention steel are as described above.
• the balance consists of iron and inevitable impurities.
• P which is an inevitable impurity is segregated at the grain boundary, and reduces the rolling contact fatigue property and the impact characteristic.
• the P content is desirably minimized, and is preferably set at 0.05% or less.
• the P content is reduced to more preferably 0.04% or less, and further preferably to 0.03% or less.
• S which is an inevitable impurity is precipitated as MnS, and reduces the rolling contact fatigue property. For this reason, the S content is desirably minimized.
• the S content is preferably controlled to 0.05% or less.
• the S content is more preferably 0.04% or less, and further preferably 0.03% or less.
• the hot rolled material or hot forged material is heated within the temperature range of 780 to 800° C. for 2 to 8 hours. Then, the material is cooled to 680° C. at an average cooling rate of 10 to 15° C./hr, followed by air cooling. Thus, spheroidal cementite is dispersed. As a result, Cr and Mn in spheroidal cementite precipitated during cooling are partially dispersed in the matrix phase. Accordingly, the boundary Cr and the boundary Mn exceed respective prescribed amounts.
• the average cooling rate to 740° C. after hot rolling is set at 8° C./s or more.
• the temperature is raised at an average heating rate of 100 to 150° C./hr from room temperature to the temperature range of 780 to 800° C. (soaking temperature). At the soaking temperature, heating is performed for 1 to 2 hours. Then, cooling is performed at an average cooling rate of 50 to 150° C./hr from the soaking temperature to 680° C. (still thereafter, air cooling may be performed).
• cementite can be spheroidized.
• the densities of Cr and Mn in the boundary region can be controlled within respective prescribed ranges without diffusing Cr and Mn in spheroidal cementite in the matrix phase.
• Average cooling rate to 740° C. after hot rolling 8° C./s or more
• the average cooling rate to 740° C. after hot rolling is set at 8° C./s or more.
• the average cooling rate is preferably 10° C./s or more, and more preferably 20° C./s or more.
• the upper limit of the average cooling rate is about 100° C./s from the viewpoint of productivity because supercooled microstructure (martensite) causes disconnection.
• the conditions for manufacturing up to hot rolling other than those described above have no particular restriction, and general conditions can be adopted. For example, mention may be made of the following: in a heating furnace, heating is performed to 1100 to 1300° C.; then, blooming is carried out at 900 to 1200° C., followed by hot rolling at 830 to 1100° C.
• the average heating rate is set at 100° C./hr or more.
• the average heating rate is preferably 110° C./hr or more, and more preferably 120° C./hr or more.
• the average heating rate exceeds 150° C./hr, pearlite cannot be sufficiently divided. Accordingly, the circularity coefficient of cementite becomes smaller than 0.80. Therefore, the average heating rate is set at 150° C./hr or less.
• the average heating rate is preferably 140° C./hr or less, and more preferably 130° C./hr or less.
• the soaking temperature is set at 780° C. or more.
• the soaking temperature is preferably 790° C. or more.
• the soaking temperature exceeds 800° C., Cr and Mn in spheroidal cementite are diffused into the boundary. Accordingly, it becomes impossible to control the boundary Cr and the boundary Mn within respective prescribed ranges. Therefore, the soaking temperature is controlled at 800° C. or less.
• the soaking temperature is preferably 795° C. or less.
• the soaking time is preferably 1.2 hr or more, and more preferably 1.5 hr or more.
• the soaking time is set at 2 hr or less.
• the soaking time is preferably 1.8 hr or less.
• Average cooling rate from the soaking temperature to 680° C. 50 to 150° C./hr
• the average cooling rate is set at 50° C./hr or more.
• the average cooling rate is preferably 60° C./hr or more, and more preferably 70° C./hr or more.
• the average cooling rate exceeds 150° C./hr, spheroidizing of precipitated cementite becomes insufficient. Accordingly, coarsening of cementite proceeds, so that the size becomes 0.6 ⁇ m or more.
• the average cooling rate is set at 150° C./hr or less.
• the average cooling rate is preferably 140° C./hr or less, and more preferably 130° C./hr or less.
• Cooling at the average cooling rate is performed from the soaking temperature to at least 680° C. At 680° C. or less, diffusion of each element becomes very slow. For this reason, the cooling rate at 680° C. or less hardly affects the boundary region density. Accordingly, the cooling rate at 680° C. or less may be appropriately selected according the production line. Thus, the cooling rate to room temperature after cooling to 680° C. described above has no particular restriction. However, from the viewpoint of productivity improvement, air cooling is desirable.
• the soaking time is shorter than that of conventional spheroidizing annealing steps. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the cost and to improve the productivity.
• the steel of the present invention is subjected to spheroidizing annealing as described above, and then is worked into a prescribed component shape, followed by quenching/tempering. As a result, the steel is manufactured into a bearing component or the like.
• the shapes at the steel stage include both of such linear and rod-like shapes as applicable to such manufacturing.
• the size can also be appropriately determined according to the final product.
• the cast pieces of the chemical compositions shown in Table 1 were heated to 1100 to 1300° C. in a heating furnace. Then, blooming was carried out at 900 to 1200° C. Then, hot rolling was performed at 830 to 1100° C., and cooling to 740° C. after completion of hot rolling was carried out at each average cooling rate shown in Table 2, resulting in a steel with a size of 20 mm in diameter. Then, the steel was heated at each average heating rate shown in Table 2 from room temperature to each soaking temperature shown in Table 2, and was held at the soaking temperature for each soaking time shown in Table 2. Then, the steel was cooled at each average cooling rate shown in Table 2 to 680° C., followed by air cooling.

• the average values of respective elements in the region from the boundary surface of spheroidal cementite to a position at 20 nm away in the base material were determined, and were referred to as the contents of the boundary Fe, the boundary Si, the boundary Mn, the boundary Cr, the boundary Cu, the boundary Ni, and the boundary Mo, respectively.
• a test specimen with a diameter of 14 mm, and a length of 21 mm was cut, and was subjected to cold working at a compression ratio (working ratio) of 60% using a press tester. Then, the side surface of the test specimen was observed at 20 times by an optical microscope, thereby to confirm the occurrence or non-occurrence of breakage. Thus, the deformability was evaluated. Further, the deformation resistance during working at a compression ratio of 40% was measured.
• the compression ratio is determined from the following equation (2).
• Compression ratio (%) (1 ⁇ L/L 0) ⁇ 100 (2) (In the equation (2), L0: test specimen length before working, and L: test specimen length after working)
• No. 1 is a base steel (conventional steel).
• the cooling rate after hot rolling was slow (1° C./s), and the average heating rate for spheroidizing annealing was slow (80° C./s). Further, the soaking time was long (6 hr), and further, the cooling rate to 680° C. after soaking was slow (15° C./hr). For these reasons, the boundary Cr and the boundary Mn could not be controlled within respective prescribed ranges, so that the deformation resistance was high (934 MPa).
• the Cu content of the steel (steel No. 10) was excessive (0.07 mass %). For this reason, the boundary Cu content was outside the prescribed range, resulting in an increase in deformation resistance (942 MPa).
• the Ni content of the steel (steel No. 11) was excessive (0.08 mass %). For this reason, the boundary Ni content was outside the prescribed range, resulting in an increase in deformation resistance (923 MPa).
